Jia Yin nodded, hugging her brother's waist and softly replied, "I know, ge..." 。I just feel sorry for the Third Princess. She's only a few years older than me, and she has to go through all of this. It's really pitiful. 。Everyone sighed along, in fact they didn't really have much fondness for the third princess before this. 。But after so long, seeing that the Third Princess treated Jia Yin sincerely and cared for her like a younger sister, they were also grateful and happy. 。If they are able to help, they would naturally be willing to lend a helping hand. 。Unfortunately, this matter involves too many people. Not to mention helping, even the whole family has to pretend they know nothing. 。The family chatted for a few more moments. Li Lao Er instructed, “I will tell Mr. Wen and the Liu family about this matter. You must remember not to let the news slip, and be extra careful.” 。Now, he is a different person from before. All his thoughts are on sealing the crown prince and choosing a wife. Whoever dares to disrupt his plans will be courting disaster. 。Everyone nodded in agreement. 。Li Lao'er then got up and planned to go out. 。Before Mu Xu even had a chance to push open the door, he walked in from the front courtyard. He looked dusty and travel-worn, his lips cracked and dry. 。Everyone was surprised and quickly welcomed him into the house. 。Even Jiayin, who was heartbroken, couldn't help but quickly pour a cup of iced tea for Mu Xu. 。Mu Xu carefully looked her over for a few moments, drained the tea in his cup in one gulp, then grabbed the teapot and drank it dry, before finally letting out a long sigh. 。Li Lao'er was unusually anxious. He asked, "Xiu Ge’er, how is it? What about the battle in Jiangbei? Has there been any news from the Marquis and the fourth brother?" Mu Xu, dragging his aching leg, sat down beside Jia Yin before replying, “The matter in Jiangbei is rather complicated. It delayed me for two days, otherwise I would have returned sooner.” 。"I had been thinking about the food and medicine stored in Jiangbei, planning to go take a look when I was free. As it turned out, I ran into Shan Shu being chased." 。The first wave of people must have been sent by that person there, wanting to cut off the connection between the Marquis and his family. 。He pointed in the direction of the palace, and everyone guessed what he meant. They all frowned. 。Why would that person cut off contact with the Marquis and his family? Is he starting to fear our family?"Li La Er pointed straight to the core, this question was very important. If that person feared their family, then the family had to deal with it quickly, lest they be caught off guard and fall into a passive situation. 。Mu Xu shook his head, "It's not a problem with our family, it's that person's mind has changed. He is probably waiting for the big events here in Xin Du to be completed, and he still has arrangements for the Northern Expeditionary Army, so he not only holds back the military supplies but also sends down official documents to the Northern Expeditionary Army to temporarily halt the attack." 。But the Marquis believed that the time for a decisive battle had arrived, and he also wanted to drive away the barbarians as soon as possible and return to Xin Du. 。So the Marquis sent Shan Shu back to contact his family, hoping to mobilize the grain and medicine from Jiangbei Mountain Valley. 。As a result, Shan Shu was intercepted. 。"Shan Shu, despite being injured, killed all those men. But the group that had previously robbed grain also appeared." 。Luckily, I helped with half of it, otherwise Uncle Shan would have been in danger. 。"

Jia Yin imagined that it must have been extremely dangerous at the time, her heart growing increasingly restless. She urged, "Uncle Hei and the others just left not long ago. Should we chase after them, bring them to Jiang Bei, and slaughter this entire group of people! Otherwise, at a crucial moment, with these people meddling, our plans might be ruined." 。"Li Lao'er was also worried and agreed, "I'm afraid Old Hei and the others aren't enough. We should mobilize another few dozen people from Er Village. It's best to go to Hou Mansion and ask the head steward for dozens of guards. If we gather together, there should be around two or three hundred, which should be enough to deal with..." 。Mu Xu, however, smiled, his expression carrying a hint of smugness. 。"My Lord, Lady, there's no need for such trouble. Shan Shu and I have already dealt with those people, and we even caused a bit of trouble for their masters along the way." 。"
